Chapter 1071: Test (II)
At those words, swords were drawn and bows bent in an instant. Li Chenghui’s hand immediately pressed down on the Sixfold Profound Thunder Punishment Tokens. Gongsun Baifan reached for the long blade at his waist. Wang He and the others broke out in cold sweat, staring at one another in fear.
In truth, Li Zhouwei was not afraid of them. He had needed to weigh things carefully before Ding Weizeng’s arrival, but now, since both that burly man and Li Chenghui were present, handling the three before them was more than within their means.
The only worry is reinforcements from the Capital Immortal Dao...
He did not need to think for long. There were surely Purple Mansion Realm cultivators locked in confrontation within the great void above. If he fought these three now and lost, it would force Li Ximing into a disadvantage and constrain his actions.
He calculated silently, holding his halberd ready, his eyes narrowed in thought. Then he said coldly, "You’re welcome to try!"
Just then, a hearty laugh rang out from the horizon, followed by a loud voice. "Daoist Minghuang, I have come to aid you!"
Everyone looked up and saw a brown-yellow spirit boat of profound stone speeding toward them, sending waves of air rolling before it. At its bow stood a man in a dark, patterned robe. He was pale and beardless, with an urgent expression. It was none other than Kong Guxi, gate master of Profound Peak Gate!
The woman in the rainbow gown paled. At last she understood, and she furiously laughed, "So that’s it! You two families have joined hands in secret. No wonder you dared show such insolence!"
Kong Guxi arrived in the blink of an eye. Three men and a woman descended from the spirit boat behind him. Two of them were already at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Now that they had five at their side, the balance of power instantly shifted.
Yet the woman in the rainbow gown showed no fear. She glared at Kong Guxi as she shouted, "Kong Guxi! How many years of lifespan does your Daoist Master even have left? And yet you dare to strike against my Capital Immortal Dao!"
Kong Guxi faced her with a cold, unyielding expression. Though he often smiled in his interactions with the Li Family, when this beardless man furrowed his brows and set his jaw, there was a chilling ruthlessness about him.
He called back, "I’ve long despised you! Practicing that cursed, headless ghost Dao, your ghastly airs are even more arrogant than those of the Dragon Maiden!"
